Not on the '04 GT at least. I have two buttons there: DSC and gauge light dimmers. Headlight adjustment is automatic, and no on/off for passenger airbag.

Thx. Got one with lights on too, which looks nice, but the ambient lighting is not as good.

Hehe, yeah. But what's the arguement for the US model not getting them? The weather there is certainly much hotter during the summer than here

So you don't get to set the number of degrees specifically? You just have to "feel" how hot/cold it is when turning the ****?

Check it out!

I just got my HKS Hipermax RS coilovers installed. I want to adjust the front a little more. I am really not feeling the difference between the front and rear. What do you guys think?

Nice ride man !

Keep down the front a little bit lower than rear, and that will perfect ! ;-)

Thanks guys, I am going to have the shop drop it down a little bit more and get the alignment done. I feel you on the clear corners; I just ordered a set yesterday and that will definitely be my next addition. Actually, you have a point on the wind blocker too, needs to come off. The thing is, I am working overseas, so I pretty much just bought the car and it sits at home with my wife. She gets all of my work done for me. LMFAO

^Looks very nice man, but what would make it look much better is some clear corners.

lol that's hilarious. Glad to know she can drive stick! Make sure she gets you a nice, aggressive alignment too. Maybe -2.4 front and rear camber :D

I actually got a really good deal from worksconcept for under $1300.

Clear corners on the way and hopefully my wife will find the time to get it cleaned once she gets it back from Mazda.

Thanks for the piece of information. I am getting a laser alignment done as soon as Mazda is done with my scheduled maintenance.

So I have been told, but I am in Iraq, so unless my wife finds the time, my 8 is pretty stuck at the moment.

CA Headlight Issues!

I do have a question for everyone. Have you noticed a certain extended z shaped line in your HID headlight beam? I have questioned Mazda about this and they are saying that it is pretty common with the RX8, but it just doesn't make any sense to me. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
